Lucknowi Biryani, also known as Awadhi Biryani, is a famous biryani recipe from the city of Lucknow in India. It is a slow-cooked biryani that is made with basmati rice, meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of aromatic spices. The meat is marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked with partially cooked rice in layers. The dish is then sealed with dough and cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to infuse into the rice. Lucknowi Biryani is known for its delicate flavors and is often garnished with fried onions, saffron strands, and mint leaves.
